The Challenge of Caregiving

[kernsville]

I've talked to a lot of people in the past month about Melissa's disease, and about my role as a caregiver for her. Yes, it is grueling at times, she does require assistance at night frequently, and it takes a lot out of you. But if someone were to ask what the most difficult part of taking care of Melissa is, I could sum it up in one word

What a sweet, endearing post! I love the details of the sliced pickles, I'd never erally thought of it, but I have to say, I too prefer the longitudinally sliced variety... they just *taste* better (in my head). =)

One of my favorite memories is our family spending Christmas night playing a game and eating M&M's and black olives. Yeah, both.
